“Jubilee” is the name given to a particular year;
the name comes from the instrument used to mark its launch.
In this case, the instrument in question is the yobel, the ram's horn,
used to proclaim the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).
The Jubilee Year was a year "of God's favour."This (Jewish) holiday occurs every year,
but it takes on special significance when it marks the beginning of a Jubilee year.
We can find an early indication of it in the Bible: a Jubilee year was to be marked every 50 years, since this would be an “extra” year, one which would happen every seven weeks of seven years, i.e., every 49 years (cf. Leviticus 25:8-13).
Even though it wasn’t easy to organise, it was intended to be marked as a time to re-establish a proper relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation, and involved the forgiveness of debts, the return of misappropriated land, and a fallow period for the fields.
Let us give thanks for the restoration of President Trump, a president who acknowledges God and the faith.
Let us also give thanks for the new Pope that will be elected in the Jubilee.
May the Spirit always be his guide for the greater glory of God and Holy Mother Church.
on a personal note, I would like to give thanks for significant events in
my life in this Jubilee Year. Thank you Lord for letting them all fall in the Jubilee.
